Thoughtful Response

Comment: The ability for our words to demonstrate the love and patience of God will bring joy, life, and peace. In every situation, we should use words that are carefully designed to encourage others.

Verse: Proverbs 15:1-4; 28
 1 A gentle answer deflects anger,
      but harsh words make tempers flare.
 2 The tongue of the wise makes knowledge appealing,
      but the mouth of a fool belches out foolishness.
 3 The Lord is watching everywhere,
      keeping his eye on both the evil and the good.
 4 Gentle words are a tree of life;
      a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

28 The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking;
      the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
